A look at the finales for NCIS: LA by @JustDreaming83
The feeling I was left with at the end of this season’s finale was different than the ones in the past. I’m sure some viewers found it to be rather anti-climactic after last year’s super-charged ending. But for me, it just drew on another deep (no pun intended) emotion. Because this one “felt” different, I started looking at all the season endings, and jotted down what, IMO, is the overall emotion for each. (S-1 frustration and bewilderment; S-2 mystery; S-3 shock; S-4 gripping/haunting; S-5 dread.)
Season 1 – Callen, G
The writers gave us an emotional conclusion to season one, with Callen finding out that someone had been watching him all these years, logging every orphanage and foster home he stayed in, and then discovering he had a sister. Even though his sister, Amy, had died as a child, receiving this piece of the puzzle seemed to bring G a certain degree of comfort. But in the last scene, while visiting his sister’s grave, Callen spots a man taking pictures. He runs after the guy, losing him when the man jumps into a car that is waiting nearby. The episode ends with a frustrated and bewildered Callen.
Season 2 – Familia
The finale for the second season takes place on foreign soil. Attempting to save Callen from the Comescu’s quest to end his bloodline once and for all, Hetty secretly resigned and left the country. The episode ends with Callen on the beach in Romania, experiencing flashbacks from his childhood, and with Hetty showing the head of the Comescu family a tattoo on her forearm, proclaiming that they “are family.” This mysterious episode left us with our head’s swarming with more questions; not only questions pertaining to Callen’s past, but now Hetty’s.
Season 3 – Sans Voir 2
In the final episode for season three, the team had finally captured “the Crimeleon,” who had killed two of their fellow-agents in cold blood, right before their eyes. It seemed that this evil man had won the battle, and that the only option was to set him free, exchanging his life for that of another. But just as the exchange was taking place, we see Callen struggle with the overwhelming desire for revenge. He pulls out his gun and shoots the Crimeleion in the chest, causing shocked viewers to yell “NOOO!!!” at our televisions. Why would he do this? HOW could he do this?! The feeling we were left with was akin to being kicked in the gut.
Season 4 – Decent
And how can we forget the gripping ending to season four? Viewers held their breaths, watching helplessly as Sam’s wife dangled off the side of a high-rise building, while Sam was being electrocuted by the bad guys, and as Deeks’ mouth was pried open by a metal device, and his torturer was brutally drilling into the Detective’s teeth. We held our breaths all summer, while haunted by Deeks’ blood-curdling screams.
Season 5 – Deep Trouble
One word can sum up the emotion we were left with at the end of the fifth season – dread. Not only if Hetty facing repercussions from the “white ghost” ordeal, and preparing for the possibility that she may not return, but Callen and Sam’s lives are in danger. While investigating a small submarine that was constructed to transport drugs, Sam and G discover the drugs are no longer there, but that the vessel is now loaded with explosives. When the episode ends, Callen, and his partner, who has already admitted his dislike for confined spaced, have been trapped inside by the bad guys, and the submarine has been launched. We watch as they are propelled away from the shore, deeper and deeper into the ocean.
So, what are YOUR feelings about the NCIS Los Angeles Season Finales so far ?? Share with us in the comments !!
Well, we were warned… Shane [Brennan] warned us… Dave [Kalstein] warned us… They told us that he was out there. They told us we would be meeting him sometime in the future. They have been dropping hints since season one, but honestly, were any of us really ready for his arrival? I know I wasn’t, and I consider myself a hardened and cynical NCIS: Los Angeles fan. But I sat there on the couch on Tuesday night, watching Kensi [Daniela Ruah] target the ‘White Ghost’, and pondered, much like so many of you, why didn’t Kensi take the kill shot? What made her hesitate? What spooked her?

And then Hubby, not even looking at me, or the TV for that matter, says, “It’s Jack.” Period, end of story. He left me, jaw dropped, and wide eyed. What? Jack? Why hadn’t I thought of that?? Well, there are many reasons, one of which is that Twitter has not been on the top of my to do list these past few weeks. {I say that with head hung.} But unfortunately, it’s true. Anyway…
When he dropped that bomb on me I squeed, well of course I did, we were finally getting to meet the illustrious, run away groom! Okay, he never actually got to the wedding part, he left when he was only a fiancee, but still, he left. And that’s been the recurring, theme for most of the Christmas episodes, starting in Season 1 Episode 10 – Brimstone. Why Christmas, you ask? Don’t worry, I’ll get to that. Right now, let me take you on the rocky journey of introducing, Jack.
While trying to get information out of a suspect, Hastings King, he and Kensi begin talking about the corp. She reveals her father was a Marine, and that she grew up moving from base to base. She then states, “I was even engaged to a jar head once.” To which King responds, jokingly, “You managed to escape?” Kensi then reveals, “Killed in Fallujah.”
At the end of the episode, Kensi is found by Hetty, sitting at her desk, contemplating her choices and the morality of them. After being nudged by their Machiavellian leader, Kensi reveals that her problem isn’t with the danger but the deception. She tells Hetty, “Like with Hastings King, for example, today. Some of what I said was true. Some of it was a complete lie. And some of it was a… was combination of both.” Hetty, always with an answer even for the most difficult problems, reveals, “The deception you perpetrate is a necessity, Kensi. You need to embrace it. Not fear it. I’m sure your father would agree. Anyway, if men wanted the truth all the time, I wouldn’t have a… a French Maid’s outfit in my boudoir, would I?”
At this point, from all of my research and my partner-in-crime’s research, there was no mention of the dead fiancee. Not until Season 2’s Christmas episode, Disorder, or as B and I like to call it, “The One With the Guy from ‘The Fresh Beat Band’”. Anyway, the team is dealing with a recently discharged Navy Intelligence Officer, Lieutenant Lance Talbot, who has PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Disease). When this is first brought up in Ops, Kensi remains silent, and looking very uncomfortable. We only see her for a brief moment as the lens scans the room while Callen, Sam, Deeks, Eric, and Nell are discussing the shooting from the night before. Once the team get’s Talbot into the boat shed, we see Kensi even more uncomfortable with the case, and then blurting out a number of medications used to treat psychological disorders. When Talbot’s doctor [Jonathan Frakes], questions the team about having an agent who knows about these medications, Callen reveals that they hadn’t realized Kensi knew these things either.
![ncis.la.2x11[(018928)09-56-32]](http://www.ncislamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ncis.la_.2x1101892809-56-32.jpg)
As Kensi, gently tries to persuade Talbot to head back to the scene of the shooting, so much more is revealed about the illustrious ex-fiancee, including his name. She asks Talbot about Afghanistan, trying to gain his trust, and you can see that her reaction, to what he is saying, is much more emotional than it should be, in regards to this case and this man. What is going on? Why is Kensi all jittery and teary eyed. And then Pandora’s box is opened.
And there you go… the big reveal… he left her… ON CHRISTMAS! Talk about foreshadowing! Kensi’s ex-fiancee, the man she loved and tried to help him through some very major issues our troops are facing today, left her, telling her she just wasn’t enough, on Christmas. Well, if that wasn’t enough to bring on the, self-depreciating downward spiral, it was certainly enough to start the serial dating we know Kensi to be famous for. Talk about abandonment issues.
Then there is nothing, while Shane [Brennan} and the writers build up the tension between Kensi and Deeks, the nuclear weapons plot that involves Sam’s wife, and more of Callen’s backstory. Nothing… until now. If you recall, in a huge plot twist, Kensi is sent to Afghanistan, leaving her newly blossoming romance with Deeks, cut short. We find out she is, overtly, sent in as a sniper to kill the terrorist “The White Ghost”.
And then they, (Uncle Shane and the writers), go all Siegfried and Roy on us, trying to misdirect us with Agent Sabatino, and his sneaky goings on. They tell us that, covertly, she has another mission… from Hetty (of course). Find the mole that has infiltrated the unit. By this time, not one of us is thinking about the White Ghost, because we are all, pretty much, convinced that Sabatino is the White Ghost. And then BAM! or as writer Joey Wilson would say… BOOM!
The Ghost is spotted and Kensi is sent in. She has him in her sites, she’s ready to take the kill shot, and then the Ghost turns around, removing his scarf and… OH MY! Well, if he doesn’t make a girls heart go pitty patty, then Kensi has no taste in men… and we know that’s not true. No matter how many she’s dated, they’ve all been hot. Somehow, we just know that. She’s not going to waste her time on a guy who doesn’t tip the scales at at least an 8, because we all know it’s only going to be one date anyway. After all, she’s the best first date girl in LA!
But back to the original topic. Seeing that handsome, and apparently familiar face, Kensi freezes. She get’s off a shot, but it’s wide, and alerts the men to her presence. She runs and the episode ends with us knowing nothing more about Kensi’s connection to the man she was sent in to kill. The writers were mum on the topic and none of the regular cast had made any comments about the guest star on this episode.
And then Matthew Del Negro, the actor playing the White Ghost, confirms a question on his twitter feed:
Amelia @Mrs_Amelia: Calling it now: Jack is played by Giovanni from ‘Rizzoli & Isles’! AKA @MatthewDelNegro. No worries, I’ll wait for ur confirmation.
Matthew Del Negro @MatthewDelNegro: @Mrs_Amelia correct. Consider that confirmed. More to come in a few weeks
Not sure if this was a total spoiler, or if he had been given the go ahead to reveal who his character actually was, but the storm this tweet and reveal created, was major. Densi lovers are all abuzz about the fragile relationship that was left hanging when Kensi was whisked away to her secret mission, and what this means for the major ‘ship on the show.
Will there be a love triangle? Will Kensi leave Deeks to go back to Jack? Will she eventually complete her mission, and kill her ex-fiance? So many questions and without a new episode this week, no answers as of yet.
But fear not brave and loyal viewers, Shane and the writers have never given us a cheat tweet without coming through in the end. So eventually, maybe by Season 10 or 20, we will have our answers! 😉
Thanks to Merrie for this awesome recap about Jack !!
